    3. Is it possible also that Annam was recorded in a parish register by the incumbent as the latinised form of Ann or Anna at the time when such entries were made in that language? Having said that, the declension of Anna to Annam would not seem to be correct but the clergy in those days were not always right! For those wishing to delve further into the complexities of Christian naming conventions and origins, I find George Redmonds' book "Christian Names in Local and Family History" to be eminently readable and informative.

    3. Thank you Mary I have found this name pre 1600 and wondered if it was a longish version of Ann or Anna.
